Starring:
SANDRA BULLOCK

& QUINTON AARON (as Michael Oher)
Synopsis:
"The Blind Side" depicts the remarkable true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle. In the latest chapter of his inspiring story, Oher was a First Round draft pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, selected by the Baltimore Ravens. The Touhys were there to share the moment with him.
MY REVIEW:
Saw this last night, and the theater didn't have a seat left in it. What an amazing true story about Michael Oher, the pro football player. From where he came from, to what he became, with the help of one family. Inspiring in so many ways. The lady beside me I had to give a tissue to, as there were a couple of tear-jerker moments, though I fought them back like a champ! I really think Tim Mcgraw looks pretty damn fine without the facial hair and cowboy hat!! And lastly I do believe Sandra Bullock will be awarded for her portrayal. I haven't been a fan of hers, but I am now!
Rating: 5/5 GO SEE IT!!!

Sorry I haven't visited in a bit. Yes, I want to see this movie and bring my boys 8 & 9. They've seen the trailer and are excited to go! It's about time Sandra Bullock was in a movie worthy of her talent. Just bad script choices for sometime. Glad you had an enjoyable evening!
